WOW. This April, the Greater Manchester Region disposed of 1,137.5 pounds of unused, unneeded, and expired medications across each DEA Drug Take-Back site. All eight communities came together to make a collective impact. Way to go, Greater Manchester!
Make sure to save the date for the next DEA Drug Take Back Day, tentatively set for Saturday, October 24, 2026. There are always resources available to safely dispose of medication. You don’t have to wait for the next Take Back Day to make a difference! Makin’ It Happen provides Deterra Drug Deactivation Bags to each community in Greater Manchester year-round.
